>>3198550This ain't a lib-vs-conserv thing, or at least it shouldn't be. Spacey should be condemned for his actions, but one incident is one incident. When John Lithgow for example got caught speeding drunk, something that put lives at risk, he was rightly pilloried in the press. But then they do their penance and we move on.
As for sexual harassment in general, in the post-Clinton era I was the first to defend George HW when the groping came out about him. Roy Moore on the other hand, given the gravity and individual evidence, should be shunned from holding any type of public office.
There's nothing wrong with saying that we need to view people's crimes in perspective and, when they are public figures, base the social punishment in proportion to the magnitude of the crimes.
